Dear Mr Chen,
I am Rona Lyn Olivar, one of the part-time receptionists at your Sea View Hotel. I have been working here since July and I have taken the job to gain some experience that I thought would be helpful for my future career. I am writing to draw your attention to a few issues I have encountered in the hotel. I am hoping that you would take steps to solve these.
I have noticed that some of the duty staffs at night shift sleep inside the hotel's quarter instead of being at the reception area. Literally, I and Lindsay- who is also a new employee, work and manage everything at night. They even do not bother to come to the reception area at busy hours when we have an influx of guests - usually on Friday nights. I believe this is against the rules.
Moreover, breakfast is supposed to be ready before 7:00 am but it is not the case. Sometimes the guests have to wait till 8:00 am for breakfast to arrive. Some of the guests have lodged complained regarding this.
I thought you should be notified about these irregularities. Duty officers at night shift should be reprimanded and warned so that they execute their duties. Besides, look at the recent complaints regarding the delay in breakfast serving and talk to the head chef.
I look forward to your response regarding this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Rona Olivar

Summary Harrison Bergeron
Answer:
The story opens with the main characters, George and Hazel Bergeron, who are in their living room watching television. The narrator mentions their “abnormal” son, Harrison, who was taken away from them at fourteen for supposedly plotting to overthrow the government. However, George and Hazel can’t seem to focus on that tragic event, because Hazel has a merely average intelligence level, and George is given a handicap to reduce his intellectual capacity in the form of an ear radio that plays a harsh sound every twenty seconds to disrupt his thoughts.
As they watch a group of ballerinas dance on television, George acknowledges their artificial handicaps: sash weights and bags of birdshot that burden their movements and masks that cover their beauty. As George thinks about how the ballerinas shouldn’t be given handicaps, a sound rages in his ear, and the thought is lost.
Hazel notices George flinching and begins to talk about how she would make a great Handicapper General because she knows what normal really is—she doesn’t need to wear any weight or ear radios. The conversation makes George think about Harrison, who is currently in jail, but just as the thought appears in his mind, he hears a twenty-one-gun salute that again scatters his thoughts. Two of the ballerinas also appear to receive jarring transmissions, and they grab their heads and throw themselves to the floor.
Hazel notices how tired George looks and tells him to sit on the sofa so that he can rest the weight strapped to his neck. She claims she doesn’t mind if he’s “not equal to [her] for a while,” but George refuses, saying he’s used to the weight. She then suggests they could make a hole in the bag of birdshot and remove some of the weight, but George reminds her that for every ball removed, he would face two years in jail and a two-thousand-dollar fine. George says if he starts cheating the system, everyone will, and they’d all return to a world of competition. This idea of competition upsets Hazel, but they are interrupted when a buzzer goes off in George’s ear. The conversation ends as the two forget what they are talking about.
The announcer on television interrupts the dancers with a breaking news story but can’t seem to read the announcement due to a speech impediment. He hands his paper to one of the dancers, who must apologize for her beautiful voice and forcefully speaks in a “squawk” so as not to offend anyone. She reads that Harrison Bergeron has escaped from jail. He is described as seven feet tall and dangerous due to his being “a genius and an athlete.” Even though the Handicappers gave him headphones to stop his thoughts, glasses to make him half blind, and weight that would crush an average human, Harrison has overcome these impediments. They even shaved off his eyebrows and capped his teeth to reduce his attractiveness. None of the handicaps stopped Harrison, and he is now on the loose.
All of a sudden, the sound of a crash is heard on the television. George hears the sound and knows it’s his son. Moments later, Harrison appears, and the television crew sinks to their knees as he walks in and takes center stage, declaring that he is “the Emperor” and that everyone must obey. Harrison rips off all his handicaps and throws them to the ground. He claims he needs an “Empress” and tells the women in the room to rise if they feel worthy. After a moment of silence, one ballerina stands. Harrison rips off her handicaps and reveals that she is “blindingly beautiful.” He yells at the musicians in the room to play their best music, nothing average. Once the sound is sufficiently delightful, Harrison and the ballerina dance without constraint. They twirl, spin, and kiss as they leap high into the air, where they remain suspended in defiance of gravity.
Before the pair can land, two shots ring out from a double-barreled shotgun, striking both of them. It’s Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper General, ensuring that order is restored. She then aims the gun at the musicians and tells them to put on their handicaps, or they’re next.
During this frantic episode, the Bergerons television short-circuits. Hazel turns to George, but he is walking back from the kitchen with a beer. He sees the television and notices Hazel has been crying, but she can’t remember why. George tells her to “forget sad things” shortly before his ear radio plays the sound of a riveting gun. Hazel says the sound must have been “a doozy,” and George replies, “You could say that again.” Hazel, taking him literally, repeats her remark verbatim.
Hope this help!! ^-^
My mama set a lone plate for me on the sideboard in the kitchen. That was truly the first time I felt unwanted in my daddy’s family. My daddy hadn’t even bothered to tell me himself not to sit at his table. He had left that to my mama, and I resented not only him for it, but her too. “You sit down,” my mama said, “and I’ll fix your plate.” “You don’t have to fix me anything,” I said, pouting. “It’ll be the same food I’ve cooked for your daddy.” “I don't want it.” “Paul, you hafta eat.” “Not in this house,” I said, and left. “Paul-Edward!” she called after me. “Boy, don’t you go no farther’n them steps! You hear me?” I heard her, all right. I just didn’t admit I did. I walked the back side of the veranda, out of my mama’s view, and leaned against a post and looked out across the backyard to my daddy’s forest. —The Land, Mildred D. Taylor What is the conflict?

Commencement Summary on Steve Jobs
On June 14, 2005, Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple computer and Pixar animation studio, delivered a very strong and powerful commencement speech to the graduating class at Stanford University. During Job’s fifteen or so minute speech, he told three separate stories. The first story consisted of his childhood and how he developed his education in an oddly fashioned way. Jobs quoted it as “The first story is about connecting the dots” (Jobs). Now the second story was about love and loss. Love and loss explaining how he was fired after the finest Macintosh computer was produced and sold. The third and final story jobs told was about death. Jobs were diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer than was later told he was on his death bed with basically no cure for it. But death was not getting in-between his career and his life for the Apple and Pixar companies. Steve Job’s commencement speech back in 2005 was inspirational for the young adults out in the world that do not have the money to afford college and to not stop pursuing their dreams.

Answer:
As much as the brothers dislike being stereotyped for being "Merican," they stereotype their own sister based on gender.
Explanation:
Irony is when a person expresses a certain thing but meant a completely different thing. Or it can also be taken as a situation where one thing is meant but a different thing happened. This rhetorical device is used when a person says one thing but meant something else.
In the given excerpt from Sandra Cisneros's "Mericans", the irony is when the brothers discriminated against their sister based on her gender. They know what it's like to be discriminated against, for they were also stereotyped for being Americans despite being immigrants just like others. And they did not like that. But at the same time, they did the exact same thing to their sister when they gender-stereotyped her.
Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.
